LONDON (AP) — Leeds United and Burnley won promotion to the Premier League on Monday.
Leeds beat Stoke City 6-0 and Burnley beat Sheffield United 2-1 to open unassailable leads in the second-tier Championship with only two games remaining.
The top two gain automatic promotion and the next four go into the playoffs for the last remaining spot.
The victories ensure another two U.S.-owned clubs will enjoy the estimated revenue uplift of around $180 million that comes with a place in England’s top tier.
Leeds is owned by the San Francisco-based 49ers Enterprises group, members of whom include American golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
